Henry was born in a covered wagon on the Oregon Trail on the way to Oregon! That must have been quite an experience for his mother!

Henry was married twice, first to Ella J. Scott in 1880 and later to Hettie Feeney in 1891. I have as yet been unable to find where either of them were buried or when they died.

Henry was originally buried in Riverview Cemetery, I believe near his parent's. A few years after he died he was exhumed and reburied Greenwood Cemetery. Greenwood has been known as Greenwood, Greenwood Hill and Greenwood Hills Cemetery over the years. Greenwood Hills Cemetery borders the back side of Riverview Cemetery. Greenwood Hills however does not have him in their records but then Greenwood's records were very poorly kept even long after the 1900's started. It is quite possible that Henry did get moved over there and the record of him, so long ago, was lost in that transfer and his gravestone, if he had one, may have been destroyed by vandals many long years ago.
Henry is listed in the Riverview Cemetery index on a page that shows different people who were transferred to other cemeteries after originally having been buried in Riverview. For Henry they show he was transferred to Greenwood Cemetery.
Henry's brother John's step-daughter, Bertha Arnspiger, is buried in Greenwood Hills. She does not have a gravestone either. Who knows, maybe Bertha was buried in Henry's grave?
